Happy Birthday to Gabe, Billboard magazine

Monday, September 8th, 2014

Hello! I’d like to wish a very happy birthday to the multi-talented Gabrial McNair! I hope it’s a great one!

Gwen will be on the cover of the next Billboard magazine, out on newsstands this Friday, the 12th.  From their web site:

Billboard 2014

“The four superstar coaches from The Voice will grace the cover of Billboard ahead the singing competition show’s upcoming season seven, which premieres Sept. 22 on NBC.

New coaches Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams will join the new season alongside Voice veterans Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. Here’s a sneak peak at what the coaches had to say about the popular series, among other things, in Billboard’s upcoming cover story.

Blake Shelton has a few words for TV competition show naysayers: “Miranda Lambert was a contestant on Nashville Star; that’s how she got her record deal. So anybody who calls out people for being on these shows can kiss the asses of some of the most important artists that we’ve seen in all of music, as far as I’m concerned.”

Adam Levine offers a look into his personal musical listening habits: “I live in the past as far as a lot of music that I love. I’m very rooted in the classics. There are 50 records I listen to over and over again, most of them coming before 1985.”

Gwen Stefani on why The Voice is a useful platform for artists: “If you’re Tom Petty, and you want to play your song for the people of America, you would come and you would perform it on The Voice. You don’t play it on MTV. Maybe on the Grammys. But this is music right now. This is where we’re at.”

Pharrell Williams says artists need a good background story: “Ultimately, someone who sings perfectly, with no story, ends up singing background. Someone that really tells their story ends up being the lead singer. You look at The Jackson 5: It’s not that none of the other guys [could] sing. It’s just that you wanted to know what that little boy was thinking. It’s like, ‘That kid is 6 years old, what does he know about that? You know he didn’t write that, but what’s his story?'”

For a larger peek inside the upcoming season of The Voice, read Billboard’s full cover story out Sept. 12.”

Fashion Week, Late Night, practicing for Global Citizen Festival

Friday, September 5th, 2014

Hello! Gwen has returned to Fashion Week with L.A.M.B. after three years! She’s on the runway today! She shared these photos on her Facebook page:

Pharrell revealed today that he and Gwen are working on a song. He said they are actually finishing it tonight. An article on the New York Post web site states:

“Pharrell Williams and Gwen Stefani will soon reunite as coaches on the new season of “The Voice” — but are the two superstars working on anything in the meantime?

“It’s funny you should [ask], we’re finishing a song tonight,” said Pharrell on Friday at the “Raw for the Oceans” Parley Collaboration Showcase presented by G-Star Raw and Bionic on Wall Street.

Williams and Stefani have collaborated before, most famously on the 2005 massive hit “Hollaback Girl.” Williams is coy on other details but praised Stefani’s chops.

“She sounds amazing, and you’ll really question if she’s really had three children,” said Williams. “And you’ll really question if she’s 44. She’s just young and, like, bangin’ . . . you guys are going to see, Gwen is killing it right now.””

Things We Heart shared a photo of Tony practicing for the Global Citizen Festival with his girls! :
“Bass and shaker lessons while daddy practices for the global citizens fest @nodoubt @tonykanal”

Tom also tweeted that he was practicing a couple of days ago! “Summers almost gone, it’s sunny and breezy out, and I couldn’t be happier -in my cave practicing my guitar today.”

Gwen was interviewed on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday!
